Sarah Jessica Parker then and now

Sarah Jessica Parker

She's now known for her role in 90s television show Sex and the City - in which she played New York journalist Carrie Bradshaw - but her cover shot was actually unveiled before the HBO series hit screens, despite her looking exactly like her alter-ego. The actress had just shot movies Honeymoon in Vegas (1992), Hocus Pocus (1993) and Ed Wood (1994) and was about to film The First Wives Club (1996).

Over the past 10 years, Sarah has since starred in two Sex and the City movies and now plays Frances in 2016 TV series Divorce.

The American actress - who made her big film debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - had just starred in Tim Burton's Ed Wood in 1994 and was about to star in David O. Russell's Flirting with Diaster in 1996, when the cover was shot.

Since then, she's received countless awards including an Oscar, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice gong for her performance in Richard Linklater's Boyhood.

More recently she's starred in CSI: Cyber, in which she plays Avery Ryan, and Toy Story 4 - which is set to hit cinema screens in 2018.

Sandra Bullock is now of the highest paid actresses

Sandra Bullock

Sandra is now a household name in the movie world, but she was still relatively fresh-faced when she posed for the Vanity Fair cover.

Now one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses and the recipient of an Academy Award, Sandra has turned her hand to producing, as well as acting.

Her latest film showed her playing the role of Jane in Our Brand Is Crisis, but she shot to fame in Hangmen back in 1987, playing Lisa Edwards.

Despite her having a career spanning well over two decades, arguably one of Sandra's most memorable roles was that of Gracie Hart in the Miss Congeniality movies, with the first being released in 2000.
